Understanding the types of scleroderma helps patients and doctors develop better treatment strategies:

  • Localised Scleroderma: This type primarily affects the skin, leading to patches of hard, tight, and sometimes discoloured skin. Localized scleroderma is the more common form.

  • Systemic Sclerosis: This more severe form involves widespread tissue damage and can affect internal organs, leading to serious complications. Systemic scleroderma is less common.

Symptoms of Scleroderma

Identifying the symptoms of scleroderma early can lead to better outcomes:

  • Skin Thickening: Often the first noticeable symptom, where patches of skin become tight and hard.

  • Raynaud’s Phenomenon: Fingers and toes may turn white or blue in response to cold or stress, needing the best doctor for Raynaud’s phenomenon treatment.

  • Joint Pain: Persistent pain in the joints.

  • Gastrointestinal Issues: Symptoms may include acid reflux and difficulty swallowing, for which the best doctor for treating gastrointestinal involvement is necessary.

Tests to Diagnose Scleroderma

Diagnosing scleroderma involves several tests, including:

  • Blood Tests: To identify antibodies commonly present in people with scleroderma.

  • Skin Biopsy: A small sample of skin is examined for excess collagen.

  • Echocardiogram: Uses sound waves to create images of the heart and detect abnormalities.

  • Pulmonary Function Tests: Assess how well the lungs are functioning.
